Perfume / Eito (Official Music Video)

This is the debut song by singer-songwriter Eito, which became an explosive hit through social media and video platforms.

Characterized by the sound of acoustic guitar and unadorned lyrics based on real experiences, it expresses complex feelings toward a former lover in down-to-earth words.

Released digitally in April 2019, it was later included on the album “Sukkarakan.” The song became a social phenomenon, winning a Special Award at the 35th Japan Gold Disc Awards.

The melody in the chorus uses the yo scale (pentatonic without the fourth and seventh), which may create a nostalgic familiarity and addictive quality for Japanese listeners.

The blend of contemporary lyrics with a melody that evokes traditional Japanese sensibilities gives the song an approachable charm that makes many listeners hum along without thinking.

Eito / Kazetabi (Official Music Video)

This is the ninth single by singer-songwriter Eito, who became a sensation thanks to the massive success of his debut 2019 single “Perfume.” Chosen as the theme song for the railway travel TV show “Burari Tochūgesha no Tabi,” the track features a lively, country-inspired arrangement centered on acoustic guitar.

Its simple yet distinctive vocals and ensemble gently color the moments you spend away from everyday life, at your travel destination.

It’s a number that sets the scene for the extraordinary experience of a journey and lifts the mood.

Cheer up.Eito4rank/position

Eito / Be Happy (Official Music Video)

Included on Eito’s first album “Sukkarakan,” released in December 2020.

At first listen it feels laid-back and easy to hum along to, but faithfully capturing the song’s bouncy rhythmic feel while singing is actually quite challenging.

The relaxed mood can be misleading: the melody spans a fairly wide range, and if a sense of strain becomes apparent—especially in the high notes—it can ruin the song’s atmosphere.

It’s important to choose a comfortable key and practice beforehand.

Cherish the calm, easygoing mood when you sing.

And whatever you do, don’t rush the rhythm!

MONKEY MAJIK × Eito – Believe [Official Music Video]

Believe, a collaborative song by MONKEY MAJIK and Eito, is included on the best album 20th Anniversary BEST Kachou Fuugetsu.

MONKEY MAJIK’s groove and worldview, shaped by songs about human warmth and love, blend with Eito’s unpretentious, beloved vocal style to create even greater conviction that gently resonates in the heart.

It’s a love song that lets you feel the brightness of hearts connecting—yesterday’s enemy becoming today’s friend.

Eito’s ad-libs are fantastic, too.

It really puts you in a positive frame of mind.

ranchu (a breed of Japanese goldfish)

Many of you probably have memories of visiting your grandparents’ house during summer vacation.

The piece I’d like to introduce is Ranchu.

It’s a solo acoustic song by the singer-songwriter Eito.

In the first half, he sings about memories of going to his grandparents’ home during summer break—eating watermelon and watching goldfish—while in the second half, he expresses a wish for them to see the person he has become as an adult.

It’s a song that feels a little bittersweet yet warmly comforting.

My singer-songwriter girlfriend

As the title suggests, this is a heartwarming piece that sings of the artist’s love for his singer-songwriter girlfriend.

It’s a song by Eito, the musician known for the massive hit “Perfume,” released in 2020 as his third single.

Precisely because it’s arranged so simply—with just acoustic guitar and vocals—the straightforward feelings embedded in the lyrics seem to slip right into your mind.

He loves her so much that even her made-ahead curry feels precious… Pure love songs really cleanse the heart, don’t they?

Happiness

This is the fifth single by singer-songwriter Eito, who became widely known thanks to the massive 2019 hit Perfume.

It’s a cover of singer-songwriter AI’s smash hit and has been featured in Coca-Cola’s “The Best Gift” commercial.

Since the original was also used in a Coca-Cola ad, many listeners may already find it familiar.

Eito’s gentle vocals, quite different from AI’s powerful delivery, show just how dramatically the same song can change in feel.

It’s a positive track that reaffirms both the song’s inherent strength and Eito’s originality.

Eito / Piece of Cake (Official Music Video)

Did you know that the long-beloved favorite among children, Tom and Jerry, was made into a movie in 2021? The song “Piece of Cake” is the theme for the Japanese-dubbed version of the film and was written specifically for it.

As you listen to the lyrics, you can practically picture Tom and Jerry themselves, can’t you? Its relaxed melody also works well as a kids’ dance track.

There’s an official choreography for the chorus, so give it a try.

If you love Tom and Jerry, this is a must-check!

Eito / Beloved (Official Music Video)

Released on March 23, 2022, this song by Eito is crafted into a beautiful medium-to-slow number that highlights his boyish, unadorned singing in a very appealing way.

The vocal melody is also quite simple and pure, so it should be easy to sing along to if you pick it for karaoke.

When singing, be careful not to rush the rhythm and try to keep your throat as relaxed as possible.

If you tense up your throat, you risk ruining the song’s delicate atmosphere!
